Scribbles About Movies: Mini Movie Reviews

So this is just a random sampling of movies on demand and on tv and Netflix and things like that.

Not Cool- This is Shane Dawson's movie. I'm a fan of his videos on youtube and of corse I wanted to see this movie. This movie was also a part of a reality competition show called The Chair where two first time directors get to direct a movie based on the same material and one will win. Spoilers: This one won. It wasn't like an amazing movie, but it was better than I thought it would be. It was very over the top, a lot like his Youtube Videos... I laughed out loud at least a couple of times. It was enjoyable.

Chelsea Peretti: One Of The Greats- This was so funny. I love Chelsea Peretti on Brooklyn 99 and she was a writer on Parks and Rec, which i love. So yeah. I really love her and I thought this special was really funny. Chelsea and I hate all the same things, I tweeted her that and she favorited it, so we're BFFS now... and yeah. She is one of the greats!

In A World...- I feel like when I watched this movie I wasn't amazed by it, but when I was thinking about it I was like "I like the Girl-powerness of it all, Lake Bell was funny, Demetri Martin was good, Ken Marino was good... they were all really really good." And I guess there isn't a lot I didn't like about it, but it was a little boring. Lake Bell wrote and directed this movie and I liked that too... but idk I wasn't super interested.

The Lego Movie- I didn't love this movie... I liked it, it was alright but it was scary. Like America is so much like the world at the beginning of the movie. We play the same songs on the radio, the same shows on TV all the time... and yeah. It seemed very real. It was also basically 1984 but with Legos... so that is both cool but kind of dark and scary. I pretty much like this movie so much because the next movie will focus more on Wildstyle and girl characters. I think I'll probably relate to that a bit more and I'll like it a lot. Lol. I love Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Charlie Day, Nick Offerman and Alison Brie... so even just them as voice actors makes me happy.


Thats all I have for right now! I may watch a few more movies after finals and review them. There are some good things on Netflix I'm looking at!

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...
